And thank you, John, for this. It is easy to confuse taking a decisive stand with taking an aggressive one and I think the herd instinct arises all too easily in a world like ours -- find an enclave and keep the peace. But Jesus stood up for love and so should we. If we are not diverse and dynamic, if we don't go to the edge, we aren't there.Rev.

The temptation will be to say "We already have moratoria in place and must wait until GC2009 for further developments." Given the latest Network shenanigans and Primatial posturing for a new and improved Anglican Communion, however, I suspect our bishops will feel emboldened to speak a more prophetic word.Fr.
